EAST HARTFORD — Police said one driver struck another in the head with a pipe Saturday morning in an apparent road rage incident.

Police said that one of the drivers started following the other on I-91 and that they eventually found themselves on Whiting Lane in East Hartford. There, one of drivers got out and attacked the other with a pipe, police said.

Police were not releasing the name of the injured man, but he was taken to Manchester Hospital and treated for head cuts.

Officers said the incident started on I-91, but were unsure what caused the disagreement.

Police are searching for a man and a woman in a dark-colored, possibly brown, Ford Bronco, last seen on Silver Lane shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday.
